TIKI STRIFE SETTLED.
Yesterdays TROUBLE ON THE
MEMPHIS AND CHARLESTON
Conductors and Brakenen Ask an
Increase In Wages-Satisfac.
tory Concessions.

For several days past trouble had
been brewing along the line Of the
Memphis and Charleston railroad,
owing to the fact that the conductors
and brakemen made demand for An
increase In wages. The advance asked
for WIS from $40 to $50 per month for
conductors and from s45 to $50 per
month for brakemen. This was made
on Saturday last, and the demand sup
plemented by statement TO the effect
that II the terms proposed were not
granted by the railroad company the
men would quit WORK on Monday, and
consequently the movement Of freight
trains was practically stopped.
II was asserted that, on the other
divisions Of the road between Tus.
cumbia and Chattanooga, the men
were ready TO quit work and were
awaiting the news from Memphis.
A telegram from Huntsville, Ala,
was received last night stating that
the freight conductors and engineers
on the Memphis and Charleston read
fifteen days sgo. by an agreement
among themselves, served notice on
the road de handing an increase OF
wages, and the time expiring last night
at IL o'clock, and theis request not
being granted, they all struck. No
freight uaino are moving today, but II
Is thought In railroad circles that tbs
differences will be amicably adjusted
tonight and the freight trains resi- me
their regular trips.
A special from Chattanooga adds
the following information: "Freighis
ran an usual today on the division
from Stevenson 10 Chattanooga, the
men not being out. They expressed
themselves as Satisfied With the pres.
ent rates, which are t76 straight for
conductors AID $46 for brakemen.
Some OF the striking men came In on
the passenger train a. 8 o'clock. They
say they found all ireights tied up be.
tween Memphis aud Stevenson, and
ut both Tutcumbia and Stevenson
conductors and brakeman were lying
of. They found the general 6enti
ment TO be In favor o! accepting the
proposition made by superintendent
Pegram, which was $50 for twenty-five
trips Tor through conductors and f82 90
for twenty trips for local, both getting
extra for additional trips, with $50 for
brakemen. They were inclined 10
think the settlement would be reached
tonight. They compliment Suptrin-
tendent Pegrsm for the fairness
shown"
Consultations were had yesterday by
the men with Mai. Peeram, I'm, no
arrangement was arrived at until late
lsst evening, when the trouble was
settled on q basis OF concessions by
both sides. The trains are now run
ming regularly rs heretofore.
LATER o'clock a.m.-Although
the conductors and engineers differ.
ences with the railroad company were
settled, when II came 10 move the
regular early morning freight, which
leaves for the East at Z O'Clock, the
brskemen had resolved 10 strike, and
the train was not moved.

FROH FAR AWAY ALBANY

OF . Criminal Court Clash.

Comes the neverberatfng Thunder
OF Criminal Court Clash.
The Albany Law Journal Of August
18th contains the following mention
OF the recent Dub Wright. Hidden
Bar Association episode:
"Some friend has sent us batch Of
Memphis nswspapers-some Of them
bearing threatening names, the Semi.
tar, the Avalanche-all red hot with
reports Of an uDpleasantness in court
before Judge DuBose. One MADDEN,
president Of tsxing district, having
been indicted for malfsasance In office,
his counsel filed plea in abatement
charging misconduct OF the grand
jury and hostility and Partially Of
the judge. The reports are sensational.
The defendant came into court clothed
Ia q blue seersucker coat, dark brown
''pante,' dark vest, no necktie, o straw
hat, o faded umbrella and good hu.
mored smile. The newspapers OF
Memphis do not regard the lawyers
with hatred and contempt like the
Argonaut, but rather as demi gods.
They furnish them with remarkable
armament. 0ne 'riddled the defense
with Parthian arrows although 1t
does not appear that the orator was
running away. Another poured hot
shot into the judge, but he sat as II
carved Of stone, and amid the crash

been heard 10 fall" Arrows and hot
ehot must be more dangerous than re-
vised statutes, biblea, ink and mucil.
age. Our advices stop at very excit-
ing scene, where the Judge has threat
ened TO put the counsel In irons and
send him to the workhouse for con.
tempt. We hope he will not do that.
1t is too bad to make lawyer work
Ia this hot weather, and the Judge
ought to keep, or rather regain, his
temper, and not initiate Noah Davis.
We are glad he Is soing to sleep on 1t.
II is almost unnecessary to add that
Judge Scrogas was mentioned, and the
Albany Law Journal was quoted. We
await the result with impotence.
Later sdvices show that the diff.
Guilty has been composed.' The Men,
phis Bar Association had q meeting
and brought about an arrangement
TIE judge and counsel mutually with.
drew their offensive impuiations and
remarks, and the judge reecinded his
order OF commitment. From the
unanimous tone OF the press and the
bar We infer that the Judge was hasty
and that the counsel was not TO blame.
The judges conduct in reecinding his
order was brave and maaly aud will
